tmux

I'm starting to use tmux (I'm thinking of switching from screen), but I'm having a hard time telling which pane is focused when I split a window into multiple panes. Is there a config customization or something that can highlight the focused pane a little more explicitly? Here are the relevant settings: pane-active-border-bg colour pane-active-border-fg colour Set the pane border colour for the currently active pane. So, try adding something like this to your ~/.tmux.conf : set-option -g pane-active-border-fg blue That will set a blue border around the active pane. The pane-active-border-bg

How do I increase scrollback buffer size in tmux ? If I enter copy mode, the number of available scrollback lines (visible in upper right corner) is always below 2000. I tried to find a list of all tmux commands, but I can't find anything about scrollback size. For all I see the screen command for setting that option doesn't work with tmux . Using tmux 1.8, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, either konsole or gnome-terminal . Chris Johnsen The history limit is a pane attribute that is fixed at the time of pane creation and cannot be changed for existing panes . The value is taken from the history-limit session

Example: copy in one tmux pane (via vim), then switch to another pane (running another vim instance) and paste using the vim paste command. I know this can be done via tmux (using prefix+]) but it would be really handy if I can copy and paste using vim bindings since i'm just switching between different panes running vim. Any ideas? Sorry, I'm trying to convince you to use vim built-in features. To make the copy/paste easy, you can open files in another Tabpages: :tabe /path/to/another/file Use gt or gT to switch Tabpages. Or split the window to edit another file: :sp /path/to/another/file Use

I am trying to figure out how to attach to a tmux session if a named tmux session exists, if not I want to create a new one with the given name. Currently, I know of a few tmux commands which can partly achieve what I am looking for, but its not clear how to combine them together to get what I am looking for: tmux attach attaches to an automatically existing session - but errors out if no session exists tmux new creates a new session - but it does so every time, so I can't leave it in my .tmux.conf tmux has-session tests whether a session exists - but I don't know how to stitch it together

I've got a tmux session where the window is too small because some user somewhere is connected. How do I tell tmux to disconnect all connected users? demure You can use <prefix> D (where prefix is C-b by default) , to chose which clients to detach; it will also list they col/lines as well as the last used time. Note the uppercase D , i.e. Shift + d . You could also use tmux's detach-client option detach-client [-P] [-a] [-s target-session] [-t target-client] (alias: detach) Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified with -t, or all clients currently attached to the

On my local machine I've got 3 node.js instances running simultaneously. Each has it's own pane in a tmux window called "servers". The problem is that it's not that easy to figure out which node is running in which pane, 'cause their logs are similar. What I need is a title for every pane. As I got, tmux itself doesn't have the feature: it has only titles for windows and not for panes. Launching a separate tmux session inside every pane for every node.js instance looks like an overkill. So is there some small program that launches a command, wrapping its output with a specified status bar?

While using vim inside a tmux session I cannot yank or paste to the unnamed register. Going to a named register works fine, but unnamed never works. Error is: E353: Nothing in register * Without tmux, vim works fine using my current settings. How do I fix it so I can use y then p without errors and without specifying the register? From the error message ( Nothing in register * ), it appears that when you do a plain ? p , your instance of Vim is using the * register instead of the unnamed register * . This is probably because your clipboard option includes the value unnamed . When configured

I am testing the various different terminals that I tend to use to SSH into Linux boxes that I have Tmux set up on. Basically I noticed this behavior, and I am hoping that somebody could offer an explanation of what's going on. Now it may be the case that this is specific behavior that affects the Prompt app. I am using Vim within Tmux, and on Panic's Prompt app on my iPhone5 I was having the behavior that 256 colors were not enabling when the .vimrc set the colors using the set t_Co=256 directive. Here, Vim was correctly displaying the colors when it was not run through Tmux. Also, OS X's

How can I specify a pane percentage in tmuxinator ? Eg: project_name: ad_dev project_root: ~/Programming/WWW/Rails/projects/ApparelDreamDev rvm: ruby-1.9.2-p290@apparel_dev pre: SQL tabs: - editor: layout: main-vertical panes: - vim 75% - #empty, will just run plain bash - top eg: the vim pane would take 75% of the screen... is there a way to specify this ? or where in the documentation should I look ? Can't seem to find it anywhere. The layout should be specified in the layout: line. But you are not limited to the five preset layouts (such as main-vertical). From the man page : In addition,
